Partner with investor or Private Lending/Hard Money Lending?

[Corey Graham]

Hello Fellow Investors, 

I am looking for some guidance, I am building a proposal to present to investors. But I am curious from people who have some experience or have partnered with others who provided the capital how was that experience? What returns did the investor expect to see? And did you see a benefit working with this investor vs a hard money lender? I want to explore all sides of this. I want to use leverage but I also want to make sure that there is a win across the board. If need be I can use my own money, but I would prefer to keep my cash.
